I agree that was sub-optimal, thank you for addressing that.  This
actually would resolve #51994 I had reported some time ago ("GTK 4
requires qtbase through various sources (gstreamer plugins)"), so you
(or the person who pushes) should add this as a git trailer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Fixes: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51994
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and close the associate bug after it's pushed.
